An interim chief executive who takes the wheel of a company in decline. The mandate is short, the authority is full, the scope is commercial and operational. Stabilise cash, cut, refocus, restart growth, hand back.

Roughly €1,500 to €3,500 per day, or €25,000 to €55,000 per month for an intensive mandate. Crisis-level work runs higher. Performance-linked components are common.

Cash stabilised by day 30. Cost base and focus reset by day 90. Growth restarted by day 180. Beyond that, the operator hands the business to a permanent CEO.

A consultant advises and recommends. A turnaround CEO acts, signs decisions and owns the outcome. Different role, different accountability.

Most mandates run six to twelve months. The shortest are intense ninety-day fixes. The longest extend into eighteen months when the recovery is paired with a search for a permanent CEO.

Commercial and operational only. Revenue, margin, focus, team, growth. If creditors, courts or insolvency are the problem, you need a restructuring advisor, not a turnaround CEO.

I take the CEO role with the authority the board would give a permanent CEO. Legal director status depends on the jurisdiction and the deal.
